What is a question and answer system with success factors

The recent two-year question and answer system has become more and more frequent in everyone's view, this and the previous forum mode, Wiki mode, there are some differences, this system in the solution to the popularity of the problem at the same time to give some of the solution to encourage, so that the solution to create viscous, in the solution frequently for the site and work, Naturally, it has attracted a new group of question and answer users.

So we all know what the current question and answer website is famous for, in fact, what is important today is not this group of successful question and answer websites, but the vertical development of a new problem system, they tend to focus on a small area to achieve a high level of professionalism, and relative to the overall difficulty is also low, User stickiness is higher. After a long period of operation can even be a large number of high-quality questions and answers to derive their own brand to bring greater benefits. Because such a site itself is a social type, so there is no need to worry about the freshness and interactivity of the problem, in a separate area has become a brand of the development of question answering system, because already has a huge user base, can develop faster. This is like a question and answer system is a closed eyes can do a good job of the type of site, and is not entirely, this and the previous contact with a large number of sites there are many different places, I give you a few examples of some of the details worth thinking:

　　How to position

Looks like a garbage problem, in fact the problem is not solved is a spam site. Overall to the problem is too difficult, can answer a few people even to write a paper, such a question and answer website installed force can, who will come up and ask and answer every day? And in the professional field of the question and answer site once the overall level is low, will give visitors a feeling of impostors, even think that there is no essence of the site is not worth learning, this will also become the resistance of the site development.

For example, to do a web game question and answer website, the entire site is full of "point card how to recharge?" "," Where does the game exit? "," How to download the game, "such silly questions, will make potential questioner and respondents nowhere, the question and answer system is to provide a mutual technical solution work, not to provide a mutual labor work. Suitable novice problems should be integrated to guide, avoid frequent appearance in the layout of the impact of beauty. Of course, the "a" and B-attribute of the nonlinear increase whether there is a staggered point, to achieve a threshold after how the change, someone can draw me an atlas? "If the entire layout is such a problem, it is not a question and answer forum, to become a center for academic exchanges."

　　Distinguishing questions and answers with comments

This is a very critical point if you want to develop a question answering system that doesn't want to do comment on questions, may become a successful question-and-answer website, but a mature question and answer site should be given a comment area after each question, they do not answer their technical questions, but comment on whether the problem is appropriate and the answer satisfaction , such as the "Approval" and "error" next to the answer, is a point of concise comments. Why do you do it?

The answer is not good, is not the correct answers are not only by the questioner and the administrator to decide, more time to give participants a comment on the space, and relative to a good reply, a good question is also one of the key, the selection of good questions may become one of the highlights of the question and answer site. As for the need to separate these areas is well understood, the comments can be diversified, and the answer needs to be subject to the appropriate topic.

　　Reward

This is the most important part of the whole question and answer website, if give you a strange account to let you answer the question every day, this account is a long series of English plus number, the solution is not give any reward, you will want to do the meaning of this matter? Reward is the best way to satisfy the vanity of the solution, for the solution to provide some prestige virtual currency title, such as reward, so that he seems to be a little different from others, and even help cultivate some fans, so that the solution will be loyal to work for the site-to meet their own small vanity and achievement.

Proficient in these points can you do a mature question and answer website? Not so, not even far away, in developing a mature question and answer system, you need to consider many other questions and answers at this stage, such as how to select a weekly quiz, monthly select questions and answers, how to gather them together through e-mail and provide subscriptions, even the dry goods can be sold together, What are the specific incentives for a long period of active membership, whether it's difficult to learn and then give a bonus (like a black cloud and white hat to find a loophole) ...

A website that seems so simple in the actual operation of the process there are also many details worthy of our inquiry, speaking here, we naturally also have experience, do a site is not overnight, perhaps you now have an outline, but to improve it to achieve it I am afraid to spend your unimaginable energy and time At last it is not necessarily successful.
